Ingredients

2- 16 oz. packs frozen French-style green beans, thawed
1 medium onion, chopped
1 pint sliced mushrooms, chopped
3/4 cup salted butter, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose or self-rising flour

1 cup beef broth (1 cup water mixed with 2 tsp beef bouillon)
1 cup milk
1 cup sour cream

Instructions

Sauté Veggies: In a skillet, sauté the onions and mushrooms in 1/4 cup of the butter until soft. Combine them with the thawed green beans in a large bowl.
Make the Roux: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter. Whisk in the flour, salt, and pepper, and cook over medium heat until the mixture is browned and fragrant.
Thicken Sauce: Gradually add the beef broth and milk. Whisk constantly over high heat until the gravy has thickened.
Combine: Pour the hot gravy over the bean mixture. Stir in the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce until well mixed.
Bake: Transfer everything to a greased 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Top with the crispy fried onions and bake at 350°F for 40 minutes.

Notes

Tammy’s Tips "This is a green bean casserole I created using a homemade gravy instead of canned soups. It is delicious and perfect for your Thanksgiving table." Using frozen French-style beans gives it a better texture than canned, and that homemade gravy makes all the difference!
